How to control weight during the fifth month of pregnancy

Pregnancy is the top priority in a woman’s life. Although women need to increase nutrition during pregnancy, this is also to ensure that the baby in the belly has adequate nutritional supplements. However, pregnant women cannot gain weight too quickly. So how should they control their weight during five months of pregnancy? Let professionals teach you some tips below. I hope every pregnant mother can maintain a healthy figure.

The ideal weight gain during pregnancy is to control the weight gain within 20-25 catties. That is to say, if you weigh 100 pounds before pregnancy, the ideal weight when giving birth at 38 weeks of pregnancy would be between 120-125 pounds, which means the baby would weigh 7 pounds. The amniotic fluid is 7 kilograms, and the remaining 6-7 kilograms are edema in the blood, which will be slowly metabolized after delivery. If the fetus gains too much weight, it may increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes in adulthood. If the baby is giant, it will also increase the difficulty of delivery.

Women need to control their weight at all times----

Whether you are pregnant or not, it is recommended to pay attention to daily weight control. If a person is fat, then he or she will definitely remain fat after pregnancy and will not lose weight. In your daily diet, you should pay attention to eating more vegetables and exercising more. For obese people, it is recommended to control their weight through correct weight loss methods without the use of drugs before pregnancy.

Things to note during early pregnancy:

In the early stages of pregnancy, some pregnant women experience morning sickness and feel unable to eat. Appropriate supplementation of vitamins B2, B6 and K can reduce morning sickness. Folic acid supplementation is needed in early pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.

Some families pay too much attention to pregnant women and feed them with a lot of meat and fish in the early stages of pregnancy. This is wrong. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus develops very slowly. Within 4-8 weeks, the baby is only the size of a peanut and does not need additional nutrition from the mother. During this period, the main focus is to avoid the effects of drugs and radiation, so as to prevent problems in early embryo differentiation. Keep your diet the same as before pregnancy. If there is no placenta previa or other conditions that are not suitable for exercise. It is recommended to exercise moderately every day.

Generally, during the first 1-3 months of pregnancy, pregnant women gain no more than 0.5 catties of weight each month. No more than 1 catties.

The second trimester is 4-6 months. The embryo is stable and the vomiting in early pregnancy is alleviated.

The diet should still be based on daily routine. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits every day, and ensure 1 egg and a cup of 200-250ML milk a day. Generally, pure milk, skimmed milk or milk powder for pregnant women are all acceptable.

During the second trimester, weight gain should be controlled at around 1 catties per month.

The third trimester of pregnancy is 6-9 months, when the fetus develops fastest. Ensure adequate sleep, a healthy diet, and appropriate calcium and iron supplements. Pork liver, lean meat, and egg yolks are rich in iron, while dried shrimps are rich in calcium. It is suitable to eat more. The weight gain in the late pregnancy is about 2 catties per month.

It is not recommended to eat too much pasta during pregnancy. It is recommended to eat less noodles and bread, and it is not recommended to eat too much sweets. Sweet pasta metabolizes a lot of sugar, which can easily cause large fluctuations in blood sugar and is not conducive to weight control.

When I was in my seventh month of pregnancy, I ate an 8-inch birthday cake and gained 10 pounds that month. I was scolded by my obstetrician. I hope everyone can learn from this.

Weigh yourself once a month, and it is recommended to measure on the same scale. If the data increases too quickly, it is recommended to check whether you are not paying attention to your diet, or check whether there is edema in your lower limbs.

Nowadays, there are no malnourished pregnant women, only overnourished ones. As long as there is no problem with the gastrointestinal tract, there is no need for extra fish and meat. Excessive protein intake can easily increase the burden on the kidneys and induce pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Go to bed early and get up early, and keep exercising.

I have insisted on going to work since I became pregnant and arrive at the company at 8:00 in the morning. 1.5 hour lunch break at noon. I went to bed before 9:30 p.m. and didn't take leave until I was 35 weeks pregnant. With a regular life, the biological clocks of both mother and baby will be good. After the baby is born, there will be no reversal of day and night.

How should I control my weight during the fifth month of pregnancy? I hope that women who are five months pregnant can control their weight according to the above methods. After all, excessive weight gain is not good for either the pregnant woman herself or the child. I hope that women who are already pregnant can control their weight according to the above methods. If a pregnant woman is overweight, she must exercise more and lose as much weight as possible.
